Ghana international, Afriyie Acquah has completed a move to Saudi Arabian topflight side Al Batin FC according to a report in the local media.
The 29-year-old is moving out of Europe for the first time since first arriving in Italy and joining Palermo in February 2010.
“[Acquah] had a very good season in Turkey and the player is in great shape for this adventure,” his agent Oliver Arthur said as quoted by GhanaSoccernet.
“This is new terrain with new challenges but Acquah has always risen to the occasion and so I know he can meet expectations.”
Al Batin concluded last season with 36 points from the 30 games they played. They managed nine wins, as many draws, and 12 losses. They scored 43 goals and conceded 55 in the process.
The Black Star spent two seasons at Yeni Malatyaspor, making 59 appearances and scoring three goals. His new team hopes the experience possessed by the West African will help them have a better forthcoming campaign as opposed to the concluded one.
Since then, he enjoyed stints with Parma, Torino, Sampdoria, Empoli, German side TSG Hoffenheim and most recently a two-year spell at Turkish Super Lig outfit Yeni Malatyaspor.
Afriyie Acquah signed a two-year contract with Al-Batin FC.
